Genuinly speaking, Baleno only has a edge of being a PakSUzuki car, which is fast. in the 1.3 Category, economicaly priced, wid a boot, to cope up the Pakistani family, whose goin to buy a Cultus, has an option of having a sedan. ( a complete package and a power pack car. )
but the car can be a apple in ur neck if ure thinking of Baleno being pocket friendly in parts, (em not talking about airfilter and plugs)
on the other hand Platz having a bigger body wid a Vitz engine might be under powered but its also a gud car, coz even the Nissan sunny 1.0lx was 1000cc and a fair car, the interior is spacious (coz i own a Vitz nd a Baleno). and the 2004+ models are very gud in looking, the older models might be ugly.
But i dont think ul get a Platz under 6.50 ( 2004-2005)
while a Baleno mint condition (factory condition nd a low mileage can be found max of 650 2005 model)
Both cars are comparitvly equal,
power pack, keyless entry, and a Sedan
while Baleno is 1.3L
Platz has mch more safety, (air bags, door beams, mayb, abs also)
